Topic 1

Units, Trigonometry, and Vectors

QUICK QUIZZES

1.1 Choice (c). The largest possible magnitude of the resultant occurs when

the two vectors are in the same direction. In this case, the magnitude of

the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of !A and !B : R = A + B = 20

units. The smallest possible magnitude of the resultant occurs when the

two vectors are in opposite directions, and the magnitude is the

difference of the magnitudes of !A and !B : R = | A B | = 4 units.

1.3 Vector !B . The range of the inverse tangent function includes only the first

and fourth quadrants (i.e., angles in the range /2 < < /2). Only

vector !B has an orientation in this range.

ANSWERS TO EVEN NUMBERED CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS

1.2 Atomic clocks are based on the electromagnetic waves that atoms

emit. Also, pulsars are highly regular astronomical clocks.

1.4 (a) ~0.5 lb 0.25 kg or ~101 kg

(b) 4 lb 0.25 kg or ~100 kg

(c) ~4 000 lb 2 000 kg or ~103 kg

1.6 Let us assume the atoms are solid spheres of diameter 1010 m. Then,

the volume of each atom is of the order of 1030 m3. (More precisely,

volume = 4 r 3 /3 .) Therefore, since 1 cm3 = 10 6 m3, the number of

atoms in the 1 cm3 solid is on the order of 10 6 / 10 30 = 1024 atoms. A

more precise calculation would require knowledge of the density of

the solid and the mass of each atom. However, our estimate agrees

with the more precise calculation to within a factor of 10.

1.8 Choice (d). For an angle from 0 to 360, the sine and cosine

functions take the values

1 sin 1 and 1 cos 1

1.10 In the metric system, units differ by powers of ten, so its very easy

and accurate to convert from one unit to another.

1.12 Both answers (d) and (e) could be physically meaningful. Answers (a),

(b), and (c) must be meaningless since quantities can be added or

subtracted only if they have the same dimensions.

1.14 The correct answer is (a). The second measurement is more precise

but, given the number of reported significant figures, each

measurement is consistent with the other.

1.16 The components of a vector will be equal in magnitude if the vector

lies at a 45 angle with the two axes along which the components lie.
